💸 Ever wondered how much money it takes to be truly happy? Research suggests that happiness increases with income but plateaus around $75,000 to $100,000 annually. This is where basic needs and some comforts are met, freeing us from financial stress. Beyond this, the law of diminishing returns kicks in. More money can amplify life experiences, but it’s not the ultimate key to happiness. True contentment often stems from relationships, purpose, and health. So, while money can buy comforts, it’s the intangible riches that truly elevate our joy. 🌟
